Politics and Big Data: Nowcasting and Forecasting Elections with Social Media

By Stefano Maria Iacus, Andrea Ceron, Luigi Curini

Book Overview

The importance of social media as a way to monitor an electoral campaign is well established. The authors carry out a meta-analysis of the existing literature to show the conditions under which social media-based electoral forecasts prove most accurate while new case studies from France, Italy and the United States demonstrate how much more accurate 'Sentiment Analysis' can prove.
